KARMA
TRIYANA DHARMACHAKRA (KTD) is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery
beautifully situated in the heart of the Catskill Mountains
above Woodstock, New York. It is the North American monastic
seat of His Holiness
the Gyalwa Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the spiritual
head of the Karma Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

KTD is a retreat center where students study
and practice Tibetan Buddhism as taught by its distinguished
resident lamas, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche,
and Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin as well as many visiting Kagyu teachers.

KTD has an international network
of local practice centers known as Karma Thegsum Chölings
(KTCs), which are under its direct spiritual guidance.
